Saw in the Sun paper that Digital Mall in PJ got miodnight sale. But how true is it? The advertised items have limited quantity and most of them half price. I am afraid that I make the effort to go there and they say, "sale items stock finish".

Complaints are ignored

michaeltan1943 — Tue, 05 May 2009 13:00:10 +0800

I am reporting this Sony Trinitron again. My wife has past away due to old age and he is making fun of it in public.

I have complained so many times but nobody has bothered to do anything abt him. Each and every time, he makes fun of my wife who has past away.

Isnt it an offence to write non relevant things?

I got a 4GB Ipod Nano white for sale. It is virtually brand new and has only been used like 2 times. Total usage in that 2 times is around 5 hours.

I am selling it for RM230 (reduced RM70 11/2/2009)

Interested pls PM me. Thanks
